ANIMAL ELECTRICITY.
The Cure of u Case of Chronic Rheu

The statements made recently in the
columns CT the daily Union by Mr.. w.
A. Nourse. of cures of rheumatism and
various diseased conditions Of the mus
cular and nervous systems have attracted
| much attention among invalids, the more
especially as the persons named are at
hand, and on being questioned confirm
his claims to have relieved their ailme nts
by simply using his hands upon them.
Science has abundantly demonstrated the
existence of an electricity generated in
the body and perpetually circulating be-
tween the internal and external portions
of the muscles. and while Mr.. Noutse
himself does not either explain or theorise,
his cures are seemingly due to the appli-
cation of his wonderful store of superb
bundant animal electricity to parts in 9TH
ers where the electric circulation has been
impeded. However this may be there GER
tainly can be no question of his truly re-
markable power. This has been album
dainty demonstrated in case under our
own observation. In harvest, about 81
years ago, Mr.. John Gregoire. of We'll
ton. Clinton county. Iowa, was attacked
with an eyeruciating pain extending from
the hip to the ankle of his left leg. This
attack, of sciatic rheumatism, laid him
up for time, and although under
treatment by careful physician for the
ensuing twelve months the pain never
left hun, and he was in bed frequently
for weeks at a time. At the end of the
year he dismissed his physician and took
to patent nostrums and liniments. The
pain became less agonizing with time.
but it was constant. and he could only
get around with the aid of stout stick.
Last week Mr. Gregoire was sent for,
and came down by the train, and on Sat-
urdav evening he presented himself at
Mr.. Nourse's house in Moline Mr..
Nourse directed him TO remove bis
coat and boots. and then gave
him treatment which consisted of
rubbing, slapping, kneadiDg and sire king,
beginning at tho feet and going gradual
ly upward 30 the top Of his head. Al
The end of this manipulation the pain 10
his left leg and its Stiffness had departed
His legs were weak from the long lack oi
exercise. but he was able to walk to the
residence of his daughter, Mrs. Thomas
McCarty, 1116 Twelfth avenue Since
then he has had three other treatments
and on Wednesday he was discharged as
cured strength and suppleness appar'
emily fully restored; feeling as bt
said, ten Years younger" and looking
certainly as if twenty years had beer
taken from his age.
Mr.. GregOire is over sixty years old
he came here without faith to please biz
friends, and not until after The first treat
meut was over did he experience a par
ticle of hope that he could be cured
This is plain statement, true in every
particular. in .nowise exaggerated

A horse belonging to Davenport
real estate man, which had served its
master faithfully for twenty years, fell
down upon the streets of that city last
night and the owner after beating the
animal until it was found be could not
be aroused. sold him for 81 The pur-
chaser brought straw and blankets and
made bed for the horse on the street
until he could get conveyance to carry
him to his barn, where he was put IN
comfortable quarters. The operation
cost the purchaser in all about s.. but he
need not feel that it was money thrown
away if the horse dies on his hands, for
something more than a desire to own a
broken down old horse prompted his I'M
dertaking. The society for the prevention
of cruelty TO animals should recompence
him for his trouble.

How to Make Money

Many people who have accumulated
few hundred or few Thousand dollars.
would be grateful TO the man who would
tell them how TO invest it so that it would
Weld sure increase without danger of
loss. 1t is the danger. in fact almost
the certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that deiers people from placing
their accumulations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as speculas
tive. ITO speculate" is to many only
another name for TO gamble" There
is, however, one means Of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss. Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; power of producing something
which gives it price, an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways in which a person
can invest in real estate small
or a large sum: The first by
lOaning 10 others a portion of its
value. giving TO them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return a portion of the
product Of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with reasonable income from this in
vestment, this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
lion of an increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by circum>
stances, but the certainty of gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any ob.ainable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
speculation. Would you learn more of
this? Then call on me at my office in
the ARGUS block. SAvILLE JOHNSTON.
